A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

After the palace banquet, Su Shunci went to find Lin Wuchen and told him what happened in the palace today.

Lin Wuchen agreed with Su Shunci's approach, but still said hello to Shen Zhixiu. However, Shen Zhixiu didn't take the Jiang family seriously at all, and told him not to care what the Concubine Chen said and just do what he had to do.

With the wealth and background of the Bai family, even if Lin Wuchen tried his best, he could still hold out for a year or two.

But 70% of the family wealth was sent to the Jiang family, and Jiang Ziyan did nothing, so the Bai family was soon forced into a desperate situation.

At the end of April, Concubine Chen gave birth to the eighth prince.

Within a few days, the Bai family announced the closure of all businesses in various prefectures, leaving only a few hundred acres of land in Lin'an Prefecture.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how poor the Bai family is, they are still better off than ordinary people. But if they want to live as well as they did before, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Shen Hong got married on the sixth day of May, so the Shen family became busy as soon as May began.

On the first day of the new year, Shen Yue took a carriage back to the Shen family early in the morning, wanting to help her two aunts with all the chores.

The carriage drove directly into the west courtyard, and Shen Yue went straight to the main house in the west courtyard after getting off the carriage.

When I entered the room, Su Qingyu had just had breakfast and the wet nurse was holding the child beside her.

Seeing Shen Yue coming in, the nurse bowed and said, "Sixth Young Master pays respects to Third Sister."

Su Qingyu looked at her with a smile, "Why are you here so early? Have you had breakfast?"

Shen Yue first took the child from the nurse's arms, and then replied to Su Qingyu, "I've finished my meal. I wanted to come earlier so I could hold Cong'er."

Ever since Shen Yue finished her mourning period, she no longer had to worry about going out, and she would come to see Shen Cong when she had nothing to do.

This child is two and a half months old. When you hold him in your arms, he will make babbling sounds to you.

His face was round and chubby, and bubbles often came out of his mouth. Now the hearts of everyone in the Shen family were on this child.

Su Qingyu shook her head and smiled, "Since his third sister likes him so much, let's take him to Prince Ning's mansion to raise him for a few days. I can also have some peace and quiet."

They agreed that the child would call Shen Yue Third Sister in the Shen family. If the family went to Prince Ning's mansion, they would call her Aunt.

I don’t know if the child will be confused, so I can only explain it to him when he is older.

Shen Yue pouted, "Take her away? As soon as I take her away, my grandmother will chase me to Prince Ning's mansion and ask for her back."

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard behind him.

Then, Shen Zhixiu said with a smile, "Take him away? Who wants to take my son away?"

After Shen Zhixiu came in, he stood beside Shen Yue and glanced at his son.

Shen Cong, who was biting his hand and in a daze before, suddenly grinned when he saw Shen Zhixiu.

Then, he stretched out his hand and ran towards Shen Zhixiu, kicking Shen Yue with his legs.

Shen Yue had no choice but to hand the child to him. Then she said dejectedly, "Next time when I hold the child, can you please stay away from me, Uncle San?"

Shen Zhixiu couldn't help laughing and skillfully used a cotton towel to wipe the saliva from the child's mouth.

Su Qingyu had also finished her meal at this time, and pulled Shen Yue aside and said, "Let's go drink tea over there, and leave the hard work of holding the baby to your uncle."

The weather in May was already hot, so Shen Zhixiu carried Shen Cong to the corridor to see the newly blooming Jianlan.

Su Qingyu ordered someone to serve tea, and then asked Shen Yue in a low voice, "You have already passed the mourning period, is it time to consummate the marriage?"

Shen Yue lowered her head and blushed when she heard this. "Brother Yuanzhou has been in the West Mountain Camp for a while, helping King Zhongyi train his troops. Let's wait a little longer until he's done with this busy period."

Su Qingyu really didn't know about this. These days, she had been busy with Shen Hong's marriage.

Seeing that Shen Yue's eyes did not leave the child, Su Qingyu joked again: "When you have a child, you don't have to be envious of this."

A child suddenly appeared in Shen Yue's mind, who looked somewhat like Yuanzhou's brother's child.

After a cup of tea, the two got up and went to the main courtyard together. There were still many things to do today.

As for the child, Su Qingyu didn't need to worry about him at all. He was either carried around by his father or coaxed by a group of people at his grandmother's place.

There were so many things to do in preparing for the wedding that they were busy until noon, and then they all went to Qingyuanju for lunch.

Ever since Shen Cong was born, there has been laughter and joy in Qingyuanju every day.

Even Mr. Zhou said that the old lady was in a good mood and felt much healthier.

After lunch, Zhenzhu suddenly walked up to Su Qingyu and whispered a few words to her.

Su Qingyu was stunned at first, then her eyes lit up and she nodded at Zhenzhu.

After noon, Yang went to see how the courtyard where Shen Hong was going to get married was decorated. Su Qingyu and Shen Yue went to see the kitchen manager to decide on the snacks and dishes for the guests that day.

These things may seem trivial, but none of them can be taken lightly.

Even the candied fruits and vegetables for entertaining guests have to be ordered in advance.

By the time the two finished these things, it was already the beginning of the afternoon.

Shen Yue saw that it was getting late, so she decided to go back home.

Su Qingyu pulled her aside and said, "Why don't we have dinner today before going back home? It's a good opportunity to ask the kitchen to prepare a table of dishes for the banquet. Let's try it."

Shen Yue did not suspect anything and thought that he really wanted to taste the food, so she sent someone back to Prince Ning's Mansion to pass on the message.

The evening meal included both meat and vegetables, which was naturally not suitable to be served in Qingyuanju, so Su Qingyu simply set up two tables in the west courtyard.

Shen Yue was a married woman, so she had to observe mourning for a year. However, the other children of the first house, including Xiang Dong, had not yet completed the mourning period, so Su Qingyu only invited people from the second house to come.

This year, the Shen family has had a series of new members, and Shen Zhixiu has been promoted, so everyone is in a good mood to drink.

The family chatted and laughed as they watched the sky grow darker outside.

Su Qingyu looked at the time and said, "Yue'er, it's getting late. How about I ask someone to take you back first?"

However, Shen Yue felt that she had not had enough fun yet. She felt that today was like New Year's Day and she was reluctant to leave.

Then he said, "Why don't I stay here today? Send someone back to Prince Ning's mansion to tell them that I will go and sleep with my grandmother tonight."

When she said this, Su Qingyu panicked. If she let Shen Yue stay at home tonight, she would have trouble explaining to her brother.

Su Qingyu persuaded Shen Yue in every possible way and finally got her on the carriage back home.
